The INQAAHE Conference is a biennial gathering of quality assurance professionals from around the world to discuss emerging issues and best practice in higher education quality assurance. The event offers an enhancement platform for QA professionals and HE policymakers and other key stakeholders and features pre-Conference workshops, a Regional Networks meeting, a 2-day Conference around emerging issues delivered through interactive learning sessions, networking events, and an INQAAHE General Assembly meeting.

Agencies interested in hosting the event should note that it is not the practice to hold events in the same region or continent where a recent INQAAHE Conference or Forum took place. Considering the venues for the INQAAHE annual events for, at least, the last ten years, preferences for hosting the INQAAHE Conference 2023 will be given to the following regions: Central, East and Southeast Asia; South America and the Caribbean; North America; and Francophone Africa.

Submission of proposals to host the INQAAHE Conference 2023 should be made to the INQAAHE Board through the Secretariat. There will be a two-step process for members interested in hosting the INQAAHE Conference 2023, with the first step being the submission of a formal letter of intent with the preliminary proposal. The letter of intent and the preliminary proposal must be submitted electronically using the application form to secretariat@inqaahe.org by February 21, 2021.

Please read the official bid to host INQAAHE Conference 2023 prior to submitting the preliminary proposal. This document provides an overview of the review and the decision-making process to be followed with regard to the handling of all submitted proposals.
